Newtonian gravity as an entropic force: Towards a derivation of G

It has been suggested that the Newtonian gravitational force may emerge as an entropic force from a holographic microscopic theory. In this framework, the possibility is reconsidered that Newton's gravitational coupling constant G can be derived from the fundamental constants of the underlying microscopic theory.Comment: 10 pages. v6: published versio

Entropic corrections to Newton's law

In this short letter we calculate separately the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) and self gravitational corrections to the Newton's gravitational formula. We show that for a complete description of the GUP and self-gravity effects, both temperature and the entropy must be modified.Comment: 4 pages, Accepted for publication in "Physica Scripta",Title changed, Major revisio
